Others not mentioned:
Bob Gibson career BA of .206 and 24 Home Runs
Warren Spahn career BA of .194 and 35 Home Runs
Don Larsen career BA of .242 with 14 Home Runs
Dizzy Trout career BA of .213 with 20 Home Runs
Schoolboy Rowe career BA of .263 with 18 Home Runs.
Not sure that Robin Roberts or Tom Seaver should be on the list. Roberts career BA of .167 with 5 HRs, Seaver Career .154 hitter with 12 HRs.

Walter Johnson was one of the better/best hitting pitchers. His career-homer total is 24, which I assume would have been much higher if he hadn't played most of his career during the dead-ball era.
